Telemetry denotes the collection, transmission and analysis of operational data from distributed systems to support observability and operations.
Telemetry is the systematic collection, transmission and analysis of operational data from distributed systems. It comprises metrics, logs and traces to enable observability of applications and infrastructure. Telemetry supports incident investigation, capacity planning and SLO monitoring across development and operations boundaries.
Share of failed requests per time unit, important for SLOs and alerts.
Percentile-based latency values to capture rare but relevant outliers.
Number of processed units per second for capacity assessment.
Instrumenting checkout paths with traces and SLIs to reduce abandonment.
Continuous measurement of error and latency SLIs during canary releases.
Forecast future load peaks from stored telemetry trends.
Inventory current instrumentation and data flows
Define common metrics, trace spans and log standards
Introduce a standardized instrumentation library (e.g., OpenTelemetry)
Set up pipeline, storage and dashboards with SLA/SLO metrics
